Review of the Species. 
A. Discal cell of forewing without hyaline spots or rather far before its apex with 1 or 2 hyaline dots. 
a. Wings beneath with a reddish-yellow, red-brown, or yellowish-brown ground-colour, or at least with 
some such spots between the dark spots. 
*. Veins not darker than the ground-colour. 
1 . Forewing with hyaline spots in (1 b), 2, 3, 6 to 8, (10), 11 . S. djaelaelae. 
2. Forewing only with three hyaline dots (in 6 to 8). S. melania. 
**. Veins of both wings black, particularly beneath very distinctly prominent. S. nox. 
[3. Wings beneath with a dark grey or blackish-brown ground-colour and without lighter reddish spots. 
*. Forewing without hyaline dots in the discal cell. 
§. Forewing with three subapical hyaline clots (in 6 to 8) and besides with hyaline spots in 2, 3, 
10, and 11. S. lugens. 
S. ganyi. 
§§. Forewing without any other hyaline spots but two subapical dots (in 7 and 8). S. perpaupera. 
**. Forewing in the discal cell with 2 hyaline dots, both of which are situate more towards the base 
than the spot in 2. S. herewardi. 
B. Discal cell of forewing close at its apex with a white transverse streak. S. exprompta. 
S. djaelaelae Wallengr. (= umbra Trim.) (76 h) is particularly distinguished by its reddish underside 
and the numerous hyaline spots of the forewing; its discal cell is generally without hyaline spots, rarely with 
an indistinct hyaline dot. South Africa to Angola, Somali Land, and Abyssinia, also in Senegambia. — In 
specimens from East Africa the reddish colour beneath is darker and more or less broken up into spots: macu¬ 
lifera Mah. & Boull. — punctigera Mah. & Boull. differs only in the hyaline spot of the area 2 on the forewing 
being larger. British East Africa. 
S. melania Mah. is very closely allied to the preceding species and, according to the description, only 
differs in the S' forewing exhibiting no other hyaline spots but the three subapical dots and the underside 
being darker. In the $ there occur hyaline spots also in (1 b) 2 and 3. Gabun, Togo Land. 
S. nox Neave is distinguished by the black veins and the dark brown underside on which the hindwing 
shows only a faint, dark red-brown hue and the forewing three red-brown spots in 4, 5, and in the discal cell. 
Rhodesia. 
S. lugens Bog. (^ = morosa Bog.) (76 h, as lucens) differs from djaelaelae merely by the marks stated 
in the review. In the like in that of djaelaelae, the outside of the anterior femora and the anterior tibiae 
are covered with white scales or hairs. ,,German“ and British East Africa to Ruwenzori. 
S. ganyi B.-Bak. is unknown to me, but according to the description it must be very similar to S. 
lugens: ,,rf. Both wings dark grey; first two thirds of forewing darker; a double hyaline dot at the base of vein 
11, and another double spot at the angle of vein 3; three small dots not in a straight line at the costal margin 
nearer to the apex of the wing; behind them the traces of a postmedian row of spots which are scarcely darker 
than the ground-colour; hindwing likewise with traces of a subbasal and of a postdiscal row of spots being 
scarcely darker than the ground-colour. Beneath as above, but with somewhat more distinct markings. The 
$ is similar to the §, but with a much larger hyaline spot in 2 and more distinct dark bands.“ Acholi Land. 
S. perpaupera Holl. (76 h) only differs from S. lugens in the hyaline dots of the fore wing being reduced 
to two. Sierra Leone to Gabun. 
S. herewardi Biley is somewhat larger than all the preceding species of this group and exhibits above 
a bronze-like reflection. Forewing with 7 hyaline spots: 2 in the discal cell between the bases of the veins 3 
and 11, and one each in 2, 3, 6 to 8, that in 2 being the largest. Two rounded dark basal spots in 1 b and 
several other dark spots or transverse bands like in the other species. Both wings beneath at the margin of 
a somewhat lighter colour. Rhodesia. 
S. exprompta Holl. (76 g, as djaelaelae) differs from the other species in the white, hyaline transverse 
streak in the discal cell of the forewing. The latter besides with hyaline spots in 1 b to 3, 6 to 8, and 11. 
The underside is paler than the upperside and more or less spotted reddish. Gold Coast. Abyssinia,
